Abstract
When studying the structure of codimension-one foliations we often have to distinguish between transversely orientable foliations and those which are not transversely orientable. Many of our results hold true — mutatis mutandis — in both cases, but there are also results on transversely orientable foliations which do not have an analogue in the not transversely orientable case. See, for instance, IV; 3.3.3.
